We certainly have guns in Scotland!

I've got a step sister who lives in Oxfordshire and a visit to her included a trip to Scotland. As a farm boy from Ohio, I was impressed by the number of sheep - I think there must be more sheep in Scotland than there are guns.
 
Beautiful '61! They're my favorites. I dug #3097 years ago on private property at Stones River that is believed to have belonged to a member of the 15th Penn Cavalry (Anderson Troop) killed on 12/29/62.

Interesting thread so I won't start a new one. I was just able to upgrade my 1861 Navy with this revolver.

It followed me home doesn't work in my house. My go to excuse is - "honey I didn't pay too much, I just paid too soon.

So you tried the one; 'I bought it for you' and it didn't work ??? Never does....
Nice one! Never understood why the '61 didn't do so hot in sales. It shoots well and handles great. The buying public can be pretty fickle.
